Wiring questions..I have the schematic for the dash that has the amp gauge. The wires going to and from both seem to be power wires. I don't see any ground connection. Problem is I have a gen light and not the gauge. There are two wires on the socket at the dash. One in the center, and the other at the outside of the base which I assume is a ground. Any help on where these wires connect to? 6 volt pos ground. Also, I have my generator connected, and I ran a wire from the B terminal on the regulator directly to the power side of the starter solenoid. I don't see any voltage increase at the battery with the engine running. I assume the generator isn't charging or regulator bad??? Thanks as always..
